The Next Wave 100G Ethernet Switch for Data Center and Cloud Computing

Data center networks face the changes with hardware and meet the requirements of the software it hosts. Quanta Cloud Technology provides a series of Ethernet Switches, the QCT QuantaMesh switch product line, that addresses these changes and provides the advanced features that meet the demands for the contemporary data center applications. The QCT QuantaMesh product lines provide the connections from 1G to 100Gbps speeds on its Ethernet Switches. To meet the requirements of high performance, high availability, fast scale out, low latency performance, and continuous serviceability for data center applications. The QCT QuantaMesh Ethernet Switch product line supported with QNOS (Quanta Network OS) to provide the advanced features, which is the best choice for Data Center application.

QuantaMesh T4048-IX8D is a high-performance, high port-density, and low latency layer 3 managed switches for Data Center Leaf Switch or ToR (Top of Rack) application. T4048-IX8D supports 48 SFP28 and 8 QSFP28 ports and is equipped with BMC in a 1-Rack-Unit (1RU) switch that supports 2.0 Terabits per second (Tbps) of bandwidth. The 48-port downlink ports on the T4048-IX8D can be configured to work as either 1/10/25-Gbps ports, offering deployment flexibility and investment protection. The uplink can support up to eight 100-Gbps or eight 40-Gbps ports, or a combination of 10-, 25-, 40-, and 100-Gbps connectivity, offering flexible migration options. By levering merchant silicon chip, T4048-IX8D is fully compliant with IEEE 802.3by and is a high performance high density Ethernet switch with advanced features such as smart table, dynamic load balancing, and VxLAN/RIOT support. T4048-IX8D also support larger tables size, improves the performance for larger packet buffers and reduced the latency. With QNOS (Quanta Network OS) supported, T4048-IX8D is the best fit for Data Center application.
